Volunteer!
Our volunteers are the driving force that enables MDA to accelerate its worldwide research program and provide diagnostic and follow-up care through some 230 clinics nationwide. Volunteers are the backbone of the Association’s programs, helping with summer camp, support groups, seminars, Telethon, special events and many other programs.
MDA special events are a fun way to raise vital funds for the battle against neuromuscular diseases. If you’d like more information about participating in the fun events described below, please call your local MDA representative. To learn more about Alaskan sponsorship opportunities, please contact Sabrina Hoppas, MDA Alaska’s executive director, at (907) 276-2131 or via e-mail at shoppas@mdausa.org.
